Activism that imposes zero costs on the activist, indeed provides social benefits, just isn’t very convincing.

Going to jail for your beliefs or standing up to cops with dogs and fire hoses—-those make otherwise indifferent people stop and think.

The fact that “stay and change things from the inside” is maximally convenient for soi disant activists doesn’t strike many of us as a coincidence.

This implies that someone could convince you X activism is worthless by not doing anything to visibly resist it.
